Principal’s Report
Mr Robert Malcolm
I will be very brief today and just mention a few things:
Thanks to all those who attended the meeting
with Public Works. The planning for our school
building upgrade is coming along. There will be
some exciting possibilities with new spaces,
playing surfaces and covered areas.
Bus news is all good with most of our money in
place. The current school raffle is a ripper, so
please get a ticket from around town or at the
school.
During the hot weather we are noticing that
students are tired and as a result a little stressed.
Could you be” tough love” parents by sending the
kids off to bed around 9 O’Clock so they gets lots
of sleep. Teenagers who are growing so rapidly
will need a solid 8 to 9 hours of sleep. This also
increases our chances of getting them in to
school on time.
The swimming program has been really well
received, the students have improved so much in
such a short time. Well done students!
That’s all for now,
Stay Well.

The Importance of sleep
Getting into a sleeping routine
Having a regular sleeping routine has massive benefits to
your physical and emotional health.
Why a sleeping routine is useful…
Everyone has been told over the course of our lives that
a good night’s sleep is important. Research shows that
adolescents and young adults need at least 7 – 9 hours
of sleep a night, and getting into a good sleeping routine
is the best way to make sure we get the hours we need
on a regular basis.
People with a good sleeping routine and who get enough
sleep have:
Higher concentration levels
Increased energy
A better memory
How to get into a sleeping routine…
Setting a routine
Set yourself a time each night to go to bed
Set yourself a time to get up each morning
Avoid sleeping during the day
Putting yourself to sleep…
Things you can do to help yourself sleep:
Take 10 minutes before bed to process the day’s
thoughts and let go of them
Sleep in a well-ventilated room that’s not too hot
or cold
Avoid too much exercise right before bed
Drink warm milk before bed to calm your body
Avoid eating heavy meals late in the evening
Avoid playing video games or access to your
mobile phone late at night

Year 10 Work Experience

involved in Work Experience at various local businesses
and services. Work experience provides students with
opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding and
skills regarding the world of work including awareness of
work readiness and employer expectations
Collarenebri Central School would like to show their
appreciation to Biddles for taking on Travis Brazier and
the Collarenebri Hospital and Health Service for
supervising Peyton Ramien and Peter Adams. Brendan
Sweeney has also done an excellent job being a
teacher’s aide in the K/1 class and assisting as a
swimming instructor for the primary intensive swimming
program.
